Part of the reward of participating in a technical communication career involves the transfer of your knowledge and expertise to others. You help preserve high standards of communication while our professional field undergoes the rigors of change. We all are engaged in a neverending metamorphosis of skill sets and knowledge base. How can we support one another professionally?

Welcome to the best forum available to showcase your accomplishments--the annual STC Art, Publications, and Online Competition! The goal of this competition is to exemplify and encourage excellence in the profession of technical communication. Multiple competitions are offered so that technical ideas expressed in many different media may be evaluated, recognized, and shared. For more information, contact one of the competition managers.
